GigaByte G1305 leaked, runs Android v1.6

March 8th, 2010

GigaByte’s GSmart Android is yet to hit the streets and here is another android phone from the Taiwanese cellphone manufacturer. Dubbed GSmart G1305 Codfish, the handset has been leaked by French website PointGPhone with a few pictures and specifications of the phone. The website calls it “good manufacturing quality” and is “very responsive”. The leaked specifications include a Android 1.6 Donut with a custom UI, 5MP camera, 3.2″ touchscreen and other ‘decent features’. In terms of specifications, the handset sure looks better than the GSmart Android, but nothing in particular impress us (including the v1.6 of Android).

Another similarity in the two Android handsets from GigaByte? No one knows the pricing and availability details of both (i.e. if they would be available).

Asus Eee lineup leaked ahead of ceBIT

February 26th, 2010

After the technology showcase and launches we saw at CES and MWC, ceBIT (Germany) is knocking on the door. Amongst the plenty of notebooks that we expect to be shown at ceBIT, it seems that the Asus refresh of the EEE PC lineup has leaked out. Three new models 1015P, 1016P and 1018P are being reported by Akihabara news.

All of these models are expected to feature 10″ screen and some enticing details like aluminum body, fingerprint recognition, 14 hour battery life and USB 3.0 are being promised in these netbooks. Asus sure is looking forward to give Acer a tough run in this segment, however no word on what OS these would be running (though best bet is Windows 7).

MWC watch: Samsung’s flickr account leaks two new handsets

February 14th, 2010

Learning from the success of the Corby series, Samsung is now introducing a new series fuelled with all sorts of social networks. The new Monte series already has Samsung Monte S5620, and now Samsung’s MWC flicker account has leaked two new handsets from the same series. These are the Monte Bar (GT-C3200) and the Monte Slider (GT-E2550) as shown in the pictures above.

For now, there are no specifications known of the duo. But with MWC just round the corner, we could soon have an official press release of the two. Samsung (in all probability) would also be releasing its Bada OS powered Samsung Wave during MWC (Mobile World Congress, Barcelona).

Samsung WAVE launches on Valentines Day!

February 13th, 2010

No, Samsung isn’t launching any social networking site for lovers. Wave is the new name they have given to their first Super AMOLED phone, which is widely speculated to be launched at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, in less then 24 hours from now.

Samsung S8500 WAVE

Folks at Engadget came across a teaser on the Samsung Unpacked site that says “on Feb 14, a new mobile from Samsung is born. See it First in Barcelona”. There is a strong speculation that this new mobile may well be Samsung’s first smartphone with its own OS – the Bada OS (“bada” means “ocean” in Korean).

Technically, it’s called S8500 Wave. And one of the surprise features is its support of USB 3.0 (& bluetooth 3.0), which is yet to go mainstream. The Super AMOLED here refers to the 800 X 480 resolution and is claimed to (more…)

Is this Nokia N98 QWERTY slider?

February 11th, 2010

If the ‘internal’ sources of BeGeek are to be believed, the phone in the picture above is Nokia’s N98. The rumored specifications include a 4″ touchscreen, 32GB of internal storage and a slide-out QWERTY. The picture also suggests an OS looking similar to Symbian S60. As the design and model number would suggest to you, this is a N97 successor and we just hope that Nokia has had its learning’s from the N97. The phone also has a leaked price tag – €450 ($619). The phone is expected to be released during the holiday season of 2010 and rumored to be announced during the Mobile World Congress. But seeing Nokia’s low interest in the MWC 2010, we hardly see this happening.

Motorola Motosplit: Multi-slide touchscreen QWERTY?

February 8th, 2010

When it comes to design, Motorola is coming out with something entirely new and impressive these days. After a backwords flipping QWERTY with the Motorola Backflip, here comes multiple orientation keyboard phone — Motosplit. The rumored Motosplit is expected to have a unique form-factor, according to the leaked design image shown above. The phone is rumored to be featuring a multi-sliding keyboard. The keyboard can be a numeric keypad as well as a full QWERTY because it uses touch sensitive monochrome displays for keys.

The cut-outs for the ‘touch-keys’ match the counter of a standard finger to make typing easier. The key label would change according to the slide layout in use. The keyboard can be slide downwards for use as a standard numerical keypad and can also slide sideways to be used as QWERTY in landscape mode.

Other rumored specifications include a screen-size same as that of the Motorola Droid (3.7“, 480 x 854) and a snapdragon 1GHz processor. The phone is expected to be official in Q3 2010.

Mid-range Nokia smartphone leaks out (C series)

February 4th, 2010

A close look at the Nokia’s product lineup would surely suggest a broken link between the low-end phones and the high-end N-series/E-series. If the speculations of a handset called C5 are to be true, then Nokia might just be filling this broken link with a new C-series. C5 is the first leaked handset of the new rumored C-series. C5 would be a mid-range Nokia smartphone which should fit perfect into the price sensitive pockets. The phone seems to be running Symbian S60 v3 & the shortcuts / widgets on the homescreen reminds us of the 5233 UI we saw earlier this week.

The rumored specs are -

  • Symbian S60v3 OS
  • 3.2MP camera
  • HSDPA / HSUPA
  • 2.2? QVGA screen
  • 50MB internal memory
  • MicroSD Slot
  • GPS / A-GPS
  • 3.5MM audio jack
  • FM Radio

The C5 is expected to be announced later this month @ MWC 2010 at Barcelona. The pricing of the device is unknown.

New Motorola Droid aka Nexus Two spotted?

January 17th, 2010

With Android OS version 2.x Google has really went aggressive in the smartphone market. They pushed the Motorola Droid and the Nexus One beyond belief and managed to create a good hype for the Android superphones. Now this alien looking (Droid II?) that you see in the picture above has leaked out to wow us. Dubbed the Motorola Shadow Phantom this device has the MotoDroid DNA, but rumors suggest that this might be the upcoming upgrade to the Google Nexus (Nexus Two?).

Fueling the rumors of Motorola making the next update to the Google Nexus series was Mr Sanjay Jha’s (CEO Motorlola) presence during the original Nexus One (made by HTC) launch. As engadget points out, this may be nothing more than a fan made render, but this one sure looks sexy. Personally though the little edge on the bottom for just a strap isn’t something I would expect in smartphones of 2010, enough for me to mark this as a fake. Another shot after the break. (more…)

Sony Ericsson Faith leaked, inspired by Nokia e-series?

January 13th, 2010

Leaked pictures of the Sony Ericsson Faith are out. The device has a candy bar shape the looks inspired by the Nokia E-series QWERTY models like the E61, E62 and E71. Faith is known to be running Windows Mobile 6.5 and might take up from where the P1i left the race. The QWERTY form factor also popularly referred as the Blackberry design has worked very well for Nokia and all the Nokia offerings right from the E61 to the latest E72 have been well received. Ofcourse the difference here is that Sony Ericsson is running Windows Mobile instead of Symbian, however the full QWERTY form factor has a good market.

SE Faith IMO would give competition to the Nokia E72 if the pricing is good. Faith has a beautiful design and a decent feature set. Here is a quick look at the specs and the photo gallery: (more…)

Sony Ericsson U5i clears FCC

December 27th, 2009

After the Xperia X10 FCC clearance and is on its way to be the first Android device from Sony Ericsson, the U5i has just cleared FCC. Wondering what U5i is? Well, for now, no one knows. The ‘i’ in the naming sure brings us back to the naming system followed by SE like the S700i, W960i and K850i.

The U5i is been related to the Sony Ericsson Kurara which is a Symbian powered, 8.1MP camera and 3.5″ AMOLED touchscreen phone. Internally, the Satio is known us U1 and the Aino is known as the U10, while the SE Kurara is known as the U5. So, the U5i that just cleared the FCC could be the Americanised version of the SE Kurara. Another rumor says that the U5i is a low-end symbian phone with a (more…)

Jan 2010: High resolution iPhone 4G or the Tablet Mac?

December 24th, 2009

Multiple rumors about unannounced, unseen and much desired Apple products is something we are used to. Right from the iPhone Nano last year to the multiple iPhone’s that we should have seen in 2009, there is plenty behind us already. But here is a interesting duo that is making news today. The iPhone 4th Generation and the rumored Apple Tablet. While we can be certain that the iPhone 4th Gen is surely in works, the tablet is something completely driven by rumors (since months/years).

Boy genius report today claimed that it has some concrete source telling that Apple is gearing up for a Tablet announcement in January 2010 and the device is confirmed to be sporting a 7″ display. This to an extent discards the earlier rumors of a 9.7″ screen on the Apple Tablet. This is backed by rumors that Apple has requested some premium app developers to present a full screen version of their apps, which currently run on 320×480 (more…)
